We are enjoying doing our Sonlight cirriculum with the boys, and even Joanna and Emmett. It has lots of good literature and this year is focused on World History. The boys are learning a lot about people groups all over the world and how to pray for them. We are also studying History and are currently learning about the Arab nations and how we get our numerical system from that region of the world, along with bunches of other interesting facts.
We also get some good fiction and non-fiction stories in. The first book we read was about the Island of Capri and the discovery of the Blue Grotto that is there. Then we got to research it online and actually got to see some pictures of the Blue Grotto and the boats going in and out while the tide was down. It is a beautiful place....a hidden, secret beauty that the Lord shared with us!
Joanna and Emmett aren't offically in school, but since they are in the classroom, they get to hear the stories, math lesson, and science lessons right along with Caleb and Aidan. So out of the experience of Aidan moving ahead one grade, we are sure they are picking up on all this good information as well.
Here are some pictures from our first day at the Blaedow Home school.....there is no place like it!
